I agree with that. Pay attention to your machine and take care of it. If you can't take care of it, pay someone that knows how to do it for you.
Some of the stuff you see on Youtube with folks in the mud and water is completely absurd. I can totally understand Polaris take on the warranty stuff. Find a good dealer and strike a good relationship with them, so they know you and understand how you treat your quad; thay will be more inclined to stand with you on warranty issues.

But a majority of the problems posted in this forum are from folks who are clueless to machine maintenance and what it will take to keep a Polaris in top form. The guys who lube their quads after each use and constantly check things on the quad, and work to learn the requirements of these machines understand what they have. There are many examples in this forum of people riding their quads into too deep water and wondering why it doesn't work anymore or probable examples of a lack of maintenance and attention to details. Polaris cannot engineer out ignorance and stupidty.
